Yankees Cast Wide Net in Search for Catching Help
New York is scouting multiple catchers including Rutschman, Jeffers, and Stephenson as the club addresses a clear positional need.
The Yankees have inquired about several catchers as they look to address a need at the position. Three-time All-Star switch-hitter Adley Rutschman is among those they have checked on, along with Tyler Stephenson and others. Ryan Jeffers had appeared to be a logical fit as a pending free agent, but the Twins have signaled they intend to be buyers, likely keeping him in Minnesota. New York appears to be surveying a broad market rather than zeroing in on one target.
